Why A Foundation? - Fondation Jeannine Manuel

Why A Foundation?
To support and invest in school projects and initiatives,
calling upon funding by EABJM families and alumni as well
as corporate sponsorship. Together sponsors provide for
scholarships, educational research, project development in
coordination with the school’s faculty, and sharing with other
schools when relevant. The Foundation was born out of this
desire to innovate and share.
“Learning a foreign language is very important in
itself. It also allows a better understanding of others
as it enables one to think like others. It is an
opening to the world."

Grandir Ensemble
Promoting and supporting the arts and creativity
through partnerships (including the Théâtre de
l’Odéon and the Comédie française, etc.),
productions, new works, conferences, concerts,
cultural trips or workshops. For example, the
Shore to Shore project supports English-language
theatre in Paris with classics and contemporary
texts, at school and on stage.
Sports Projects: Students’ fulfilment and growth
through sports. The launch of a new European
sports league and the opening of new sports
facilities in Lille will allow for local and regional
events to be hosted on campus.
Supporting initiatives outside EABJM, whose
values and principles are similar to Jeannine
Manuel’s project. It consists mostly of aid to
finance class trips for students from low-income
families in other schools, or to associations for the
promotion of bilingual education.
Students may apply for scholarships in order to
take the International Baccalaureate (which is not
state-subsidised, unlike the French Bac). These
scholarships are available only to students whose
families cannot afford the I.B. tuition and fees.
